Eh. In 4th grade there was this kid who told all of us he loved Johnny Depp on 21 Jump Street because he was "hot" and he had a girl Cabbage Patch Kid and had the biggest collection of My Little Ponies in the whole school. He announced he was gay too, with no prompting from anyone else. He's now 36 and still gay. Still loves Johnny Depp. It happens. Kids that age CAN know they are gay.

Honestly, if I had to guess, I'd say the kid is saying such stuff purely for attention. Really, just think of the kind of attention he probably got the first time he claimed he was gay.
Plus, rather than just getting attention from the other kids, like a kid does when he claims he knows karate or something, he`s got older individuals fawning over him and talking about him and giving him attention, and anything negative is pointed towards the parents.
If this was anything else no one would even care. If it was just a crush ppl would write it off as...*ahem*, `puppy love` and move on, and yet somehow because he says "I`m gay", people just magically forget that children like to get rises out of people.
So either it`s for attention, which I`m very, very much so banking on as I`m guessing someone that age barely grasps what being gay means, or he`s got some severe issues at home that would be causing him to seriously even think about those kinds of issu

Huff-post, oy! TEaching your 7 year old child to run around telling people his sexual orientation should be considered BAD parenting, imho...
